Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition launched in Europe

Samsung recently started selling the Galaxy S4 Value Edition (pictured above), a somewhat new smartphone that we first told you about in February. The handset has the model number i9515, and seems to be available only in the Netherlands for now.

What’s the difference between the Galaxy S4 Value Edition i9515 and the original S4? Well, the S4 Value Edition runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box - and that’s about it. Its specs are identical to those of the Galaxy S4 i9505 from last year, including the ageing quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 processor. It doesn’t look like the new handset offers the latest TouchWiz UX. Thus, considering the fact that the original S4 is now upgradeable to Android KitKat, we don’t really see the point of having an S4 Value Edition.

"We Have A Lot Of These Left Edition"
"Stock Clearance Edition"
"New Old Stock Edition"
"Please Buy This Phone Edition"
"If We Say Value People Will Believe It Edition"
"Fool Some Of The People All Of The Time Edition"
"Oldy But Not Moldy Edition"
"Classic Plastic Edition"
"No Longer Such A Great Value Edition"

What would be the point of calling it the "Value Edition" if it has better specs? What IS the point of calling it the "Value Edition" if it has the same exact specs? I don't know what Samsung was thinking...

Samsung hasn't reach its target profit for the S4 that's why they are putting a "Value Edition" name on it and sell it on a higher price to hit that mark. Such a stupid idea, but who cares. They have already done it before so nothing is new.
